There are times when the simplest of
designs can be the most elegant of all.
This beautiful box turned from cottonwood is a prime example of
that. Clean and simple lines make this a
trinket box anybody will be proud to own.
I know I uses pistachios for the photos but you may use it for anything
you want. It does hold 1 full cup so
that’s not a bad amount at all. The
total height of the box is 4 ½” with a diameter of 4”. The vessel height is 3 ¼” and depth is 2
½”. The wood was sealed with two coats of
food grade walnut oil and then it was finished with two coats of rubbed in wax
that is walnut oil based. This gives the
box a nice natural long lasting finish.
The finish is renewable with regular kitchen olive oil when needed. 21Jul18

Yes Dave I totally agree with your description. Some times I think we can easily over complicate our turnings, so keeping things simple makes our turnings easier and makes them, I think more elegant. Another well turned and finished turning from Dave`s workshop, well done.
